Day 8 and 9

No Preparation these days as well…got some of my colleagues for Dinner.

Don’t know if it’s the work stress or the fact that there was no rest on the weekend, I spent Monday and Tuesday just sleeping the entire evenings. But even that resulted in a good thing. I started to getup at 5 in the morning, thanks to that I could break the 2 hour duration for my preparation.

So Day 8 and Day 9 – No Preparation
